Dr Poon Kee Hwang

Dental Specialist in Orthodontics

Being a Braces Specialist gives Dr Poon the privilege to do what she loves on a daily basis. Nothing gives her great satisfaction than meeting new patients, understanding their desires, and concerns before formulating a plan together on her patient ‘storyboard’. Each patient is unique and each person gives Dr Poon an opportunity to showcase what makes orthodontics special.

On Solid Ground

Dr Poon received her Orthodontic Masters training on a scholarship at the National University of Singapore with dual accreditation from the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh. She believes in striving for excellence and have worked hard for her Distinctions and Dean’s List awards.

Never to rest on her laurels, Dr Poon continues to hone her skills with continued training as this reassures her patients that they are receiving up-to-date, quality care.

Dr Poon Kee Hwang has been practising Invisalign since 2007 and is currently an Invisalign Diamond Provider and an International Invisalign Speaker and member of the Invisalign APAC faculty.

Dr Poon Kee Hwang is regularly invited to conduct Invisalign training seminars, lectures and Master Classes for the local and international dental community.
